This invention relates to a solenoid motor, and has for an object the provision of a motor in which the interruption of current in the solenoid, by reason of the actuation of a suitable manner the wall of the solenoid.

Each of the armatures is in the form of a plate having twosections, one, such as 17, of -a metal such as .'copper, and the other plurality of armatures or rotatin elements, \,section 18 made of a meta-l such as iron.

produces power which can be ma e use of.

Another object resides in the provision lof Va simple, eiiicient, durableapparatus that requires the minimum attention for repairs and operation. A further object resides in the particular vconstruction and arrangement of arts which are hereinafter described and c aimed and shownl in the accompanying drawings.

The invention is lllustrated in the drawings, of which-.

ligure 1 is a plan view of the motor unit.

Fig. 2 isA a transverse section of the unit. Fig. 3 is a partial end elevation showing the circuit interrupter. v

Fig. 4 is a circuit diagram of the apparatus.

The form ofthe invention shown in the.

drawings is a preferred form, although it is understood that modifications in the construction and arrangement of the parts and in the character of the materials used may be adopted without departing from the spirit of the invention. l

The preferred application of my invention as shown in the drawings comprises a long, hollow solenoid windingl, preferably lined within by a shell of insulating material 2 and covered by a sheet of metal such as 3. This solenoid is formed of any number of layers or windings of suitably insulated wire and is disposed on a platform or-base 4. As shown, a condenser 5 is mounted on the base 4. The condenser is provided with a casing 6 which in the particular form shown in the drawin is disposed on the base'4 and supports t e solenoid, the sheet 3 being connected to the side of the condensers by screws 7 Within the solenoid I dispose a plurality of armatures, each armature being pivoted on a shaft 8 which extends through a suitable sleeve or bushing 9 in the solenoid and is Brovided with a pulley 10 on its upper end.

ver this pulley nection 11 leading to another pulle 12 on the main shaft 13. On the ends of t e shaft 13, large pulleys 14 and 15 are disposed to transmit power from the shaft to any suitable mechanism to be driven. The lower ends of the shafts 8 are also seated in a suitp able or socket 16 diSPOSd in Pny clrcuit breaker.

runs a .belt or other con' terminals ofthe solenoid winding. The condenser 1s used for the purpose ofjdistributing the ener of the circuit to prevent sparking at t e pointsv of the brake of the In Fig. 4 any suitable circuit breaker 19 is shown. The disclosed form of circuit breaker Vis a plate or disk 20 mounted on the end of one of the armature shafts 8 having contact plates 21 with which `a brush 22 is adapted to make contact. The

brush. and the contact plates are, of course, connected in the circuit in any desired manner, as shown in Fig. 4.

It will be apparent that whenever the magnetic field set up by the current in the solenoid is disposed electrically in one direction the armatures will aline themselves in one direction. Therefore,if the making and breaking of the circuit is properly synchronized in any desired manner with respect to the motion 'of the armatures their motion can and is made continuous whereby power is contributed through the connections or apparatus 11 to the shaft 13. The condenser 6 is shunted across the brushes 22 to prevent sparking at said brushes.

In other words, I have provided a simple` durable means whereby the energization and tures associated with the magnetlc field roduced by the current in the solenoid, t ese armatures being connected to a suitable 'element to be drlven and from which power.

can be obtained.

What I claim is:

1. An electric motor which comprises a hollow solenoid, a plurality of armatures dis- -posed along the axis of said .solenoid and adapted to be affected by a variation in the .field of the solenoid, a driven shaft, connecloo tions between the armatures and said shaft g 1,ess,9ss

2. An electric motor which comprises a armatures is transmitted to the shaft, a cirhollow solenoid winding, a plurality of cuil:v for said winding a circuit breaker in armatures disposed along the axis ofy said circuit .with said win 'ngs,- and means for 10 solenoid and adapted to be affected by a actuating the circuit breaker in accordance 5 variation in the fie d ofthe so1enoid,a driven with the movement of the armatures.
